I saw this pair of monitor 10s tonight, and don't know what to think of them. (the right one almost looks like Lucile Ball from I love Lucy)

    Not quite as bad as the SDA's with city skyscraper print for the grill cloth.

    Looks like a bad rendering of Marilyn Monroe fraternal twins, born as Yanny and Laurel. I see a beauty mark. Or it's just spatter?

    Can you re-cloth these grills easily?

    It does almost look like a solid sheet, not even mesh. Maybe the owner removes them before listening.

    Interested in the speakers?

    Cool attempt to artsy-up some big black rectangles. I don't mind original grill cloth.

    And yes...these are SUPER EASY to re-cloth or re-grill if you will. Cheap too.

    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    The only thing I don't like is they aren't mirror imaged.
